Following was an eulogy read at the funeral services held Tuesday: "Mrs. Eliza Jane Offenbacker was a very interesting character. She was probably the oldest, certainly one of the oldest residents of Page County at the time of her death. She lived to see four generations, she making the fifth, of three branches of the family. Her life in the mountains, where she was left a widow with eight children, and where she brought her family up, was often a hard one. She never lost faith and always taught her children, often under the most adverse circumstances, Christian principles of living... Funeral rites were conducted by Rev. R.H. Lee on Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. in All Saints Church on Tanner's Ridge and burial was in the family cemetery of Bob Jenkins, son-in-law.
